NTCP (Biological Dose, Relative Seriality Model [Kallman1992a])

Description

It Uses as default parameters those of the "spinal cord" [from Su2010].

Usage

ntcp.kallman(dvh.dose, D50 = 57, R = 3, gam = 6.7, s = 1, d = 2,
  alphaX = NULL, betaX = NULL, Nf = 30, G = NULL, RBE = 1)

Arguments

dvh.dose	a dvh object in which is stored the dose (biological dose) for the specific volume.
D50, R, gam	tissue specific biological parameters: tolerance dose at 50%, R=alphaX/betaX, clonogenic density.
s	relative seriality parameter of the Kallman's model.
d	dose per fraction.
alphaX, betaX	alternatively to (D50, R, gam), it is possible to use directly the LQ parameters as biological parameters. These parameters can be vectors.
Nf	number of fractions.
G	Lea-Catcheside dose-protraction factor (if not define it is assumed complete repair between fractions, G=1/Nf).
RBE	Relative Biological Effectivenes.
